🔊 Focal 3KM: Compact Yet Powerful Car Subwoofer for Superior Midbass Punch 🎶
Looking to upgrade your vehicle’s audio with powerful bass in a compact format? The Focal 3KM car subwoofer is your answer. Designed as part of Focal’s elite K2 Power series, the 3KM delivers exceptional midbass detail with tight, punchy performance. Though not a traditional subwoofer, it brings impressive depth to front-stage audio systems when installed correctly.
If you’re passionate about crystal-clear sound and space-saving design, this subwoofer is a perfect fit. Let’s explore how the Focal 3KM transforms your in-car listening experience.
🌀 Compact Midbass Driver with Subwoofer-Level Output
The Focal 3KM is a 3-inch midbass driver, purpose-built to handle powerful low frequencies in tight spaces. While not a standalone car subwoofer, it acts as a crucial component in advanced audio systems, especially in three-way setups.
This speaker reproduces impactful midbass with clarity and speed. It adds body and richness to your music, filling the gap between deep bass and high frequencies.
🧠 Engineered for High-End Performance
Focal built the 3KM with meticulous attention to detail. It features a K2 composite cone, made from aramid fiber sandwiched between glass fiber layers. This construction offers high rigidity and low weight, ensuring tight, responsive performance.
The neodymium magnet delivers powerful magnetic energy while reducing size and weight. That means better sound in a more compact driver, ideal for installations where space is limited.
🔧 Versatile Installation Options
At just 3 inches, the Focal 3KM fits easily into most vehicles. It’s ideal for kick panels, door builds, or custom A-pillar installations. You can use it as part of a high-end front-stage system where precision matters most.
The small form factor makes it a perfect choice for those who want more impact without sacrificing space. Combine it with a standard car subwoofer for full low-end extension and enjoy a richer, fuller sound experience.

🛠️ Built for Long-Term Performance
The Focal 3KM is not only powerful but also durable. The surround and spider are designed for longevity, even under high-output conditions. This means consistent performance over time, no matter how often or loud you play your music.
It’s also thermally optimized, so heat buildup won’t compromise sound quality or damage the driver.
🚘 Upgrade the Whole Ride
When enhancing your sound, don’t forget the visual and comfort upgrades. Adding car window tinting can reduce glare, protect your interior, and give your car a sleek finish. It’s the perfect complement to your new audio system.
